  2. The Umbrella Photographer

    Sunday’s storm on the Dingle Peninsula was the kind that turns sensible people around at the car park, but photographers are rarely sensible. I was down at Clogher Strand when the rain properly opened up. My friend and I both grabbed umbrellas trying to keep the gear dry while still getting the shot. The blue umbrella was doing most of the heavy lifting, swallowing them whole against that wall of ancient slate. What struck me was the colour contrast: that vivid blue
    popping against the muted greys and ochres of the cliff face, with the smooth sand beneath acting like a stage. They never knew they’d wandered straight into my frame, which is probably for the best. Sometimes the best subjects are the ones who don’t know they’re performing.

    Clogher Strand was used as a filming location for David Lean’s Ryan’s Daughter (1970). The production spent nearly a year on the Dingle Peninsula waiting for suitably dramatic weather. We had that on Sunday!

  3. 📸 Lightning over the Volcano of Water

    Captured in July 2019, this lightning bolt strikes from antennas near the summit of Volcán de Agua in Guatemala.

    Lightning forms when storm clouds build up electric charge from collisions between ice and snow. The discharge heats air hotter than the Sun’s surface.

  5. Preparing my portfolio for the Storm Photography Contest. For the photographer of the year award, contestants must have 10 pictures from at least 7 different days.

    This shot is from June 30, 2023, just outside Trinidad, Colorado, USA. This little tornado lasted about 10 minutes start-to-finish and had an absolutely gorgeous structure. I was about 200 yards away as it twirled down US-160.

  6. ... and sometimes the storm chases you!

    On June 30, 2023, my companions & I were chased across West Kansas by a massive haboob (dust storm). My favorite chase day of the whole season.
